Viagra at Lloyds & Boots Pharmacies

The well known pharmacies Boots and Lloyds are now selling Viagra to men over the counter without any sort of private or NHS prescription. Many doctors approve of this move to make Viagra more available to men, as this step has helped many men to be able to come forward and talk about their condition without the embarrassment of talking to a GP or their family doctor.

Availability of Viagra at these Pharmacies

Although no prescription is needed for the drugs to be sold the pharmacist will first have to check your blood pressure and cholesterol levels before they go ahead and sell you the drug. You will also have to fill out a short and simple questionnaire about your medical history so that the pharmacist will be able to check that you are suitable for the drug and that you are not susceptible to any risks or dangerous side effects.

If you find that Viagra is helping you with your symptoms of erectile dysfunction and you decide that you want to go back to the pharmacy to purchase more of the drugs, then you will have to have a health check up with a private doctor which can often cost £30 to £45. If the doctor finds that Viagra is causing you no damage and that you are fit enough to carry on taking the drug then you will be able to purchase the drug in packs of four if and when you need them.

Some medical experts worry that by men being able to buy this sort of medicine over the counter without any checks on their health could be a serious danger of treating the erectile problems without looking at what may be causing them. Some examples of the conditions which the erectile dysfunction symptoms could be a sign of are heart problems, diabetes and health style problems.

The other main erectile dysfunction drugs Cialis and Levitra are also available over the counter at these pharmacies and the same protocol stands to be able to purchase these alternative drugs.
